Some chick in the elevator just said that a chopper had crashed into the brissy river of Nrth Quay. Anyone else heard this an able to confirm?

saw about 6 fire engines caining thru the city this morning walking to work, didnt see any plumes of smoke or destruction so i assumed a crash of some sort

w1nn4h!!!!

farkin hell!

this thread sucks without pictures of carnage.

^

ill agree with that f*****

I saw that when i was on my way to work. Well i saw the aftermath at least, but i don't recall there being any citycat getting people out of the water, just two small boats.

It's funny, my better half and I were walking past that helipad on the weekend and said "That's a bit small, it must be tricky using that." and then this small green dragon landed on it.

did you chase it?

sounds like the passengers were very lucky indeed.

did you chase it?

Nah, we just left it alone while it continued reading...

The f***ers closed off the Gardens point ferry stop so I had to walk all the way up the north quay (its not that far but effort) to get home after uni :(

It was sitting upside down half on the walkway to the pad and half on the pad. Tail hanging into the water. Look ed a bit flatened... not destroyed though, pretty well in tact.

I should carry a camera more often.

EDIT: The article says that it crashed into the water so they must have moved it up onto the pontoon which seems odd because there was no cranes which youd think youd need to get a chopper out of the water and back up onto the pontoon. Plus it seems a bit odd to put it back upside down. Perhaps the newspapers are hyping it p a little?
